Usain Bolt has sparked rumours of a spectacular comeback after he was spotted training with the one athlete he believes can break his Olympic record.
It's been 16 years since Bolt set his long-standing world record for the 100m sprint in Berlin with a time of 9.58 seconds, leaving no doubt that the Olympic legend is the fastest man to ever live.
Many men have since tried their best to dethrone Bolt, with the likes of current Olympic champion Noah Lyles coming close, but there's only one man that the Jamaican truly believes could beat him.

Recently, Bolt shocked the world after footage emerged online of the legend training alongside the biggest threat to his records, confusing fans.
With eight Olympic gold medals and world records in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m events, Bolt is widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time.
However, the 38-year-old, who retired in 2017, think that there is one man who could get the better of him, Oblique Seville.

Speaking on The Fix Podcast, Bolt admitted: "Anything is possible. Track and field is evolving fast with the new spikes, everything changes. It’ll take some work but records are records
“Oblique can do it, If he can stay fit through the season and get it right, he can do it because I’m sure there’s something there, the ability to do it."
“Some of the time Oblique can be fragile. It’s a matter of the work situation or whatever, but if he’s doing enough work, he can do it.
"It’s a matter of time because he’s not missed the finals yet, so it’s just to get over the hump.”

And, some fans getting excited that Bolt could return to the sport, it would appear that he is happy to pass the torch to Seville, as the pair were spotted training together recently.
Although Bolt clearly wasn't taking the training quite as seriously as Seville, it would seem that time has truly caught up with him, making a return to the track seem more unlikely.
However, it would seem that the retired sprinter is clearly happy to help his countryman go on and achieve greatness in the sport, even if it means he'll lose his records.
